"I'm not going down that," Steadfast growled, arms folded across her chest. The trees rustled around all around her, though she could feel no wind at all against her wings and legs.
Reflector peered down the sinkhole, one of his other components holding up the handheld detector Starscream cobbled together. The third component broke off from staring around the clearing in the woods to look at her. "The energy source is down there. Megatron will be annoyed if we don't find it."
Steadfast scowled and stalked over to the edge to stare down at the hole. "I'll have to fold my wings back to fit in, and even then I'll lose some pieces- Is that the sky down there?"
"There's water at the bottom. It's reflecting." All three of Reflector looked at her now, the light in the air making him look rather fae. "I'll go down. You stay up here with me."
There was a moment of bright cognitive dissonance, and then the Reflector component across the hole stepped over the edge and fell gracefully down into darkness. The component with the detector followed after, the two of them falling down, down to just above the surface of the water. The sky-reflection rippled and went dark as the backwash of his lifters disturbed the liquid.
"There's an opening to the left that I can see, just below the water," Reflector relayed. "The drop-shaft does not go much deeper under the water than Megatron stands, but the detector thinks our unknown energy source is further down."
She nodded. "So go find it."
The two components looked at each other, then dropped into the water with hardly a ripple. Steadfast thought she caught a shadow of movement under the water as the two components went down the passage, and then there was nothing but the reflected sky.
"Now what?" She asked.
"We wait."
